I was doing a search on the creative commons portion of flickr I used the word angry, and thought this was a great example. here is the page link. The picture is from a collection by Worak. I think I might use the picture as a writing prompt next Monday morning. Most of my students look like this on Monday mornings.
I enjoyed using Flickr, and I think I will be more likely to use it as opposed to google image searches. My students get a big kick out of changing the background of the spare computer in my room. I am going to encourage them to browse through Flickr for the next great background. I am going to continue looking over creative uses of pictures for my lessons. I have more low learners this year than in the past. I hope I can get more out of them with the use of pictures, particularly because of the low reading levels of some of my students.
I love the idea of using pictures for writing prompts. There are so many ways you could prompt the students and so many answers they could give.
